[00:35:21] <halibut> Re: Pete Hegseth press restrictions (the article link posted by c0lo):
[00:35:37] <halibut> Quote: it demands reporters to express an ‘understanding’ that harm inevitably flows from the disclosure of unauthorized information, classified or not
[00:36:17] <halibut> If my memory serves correctly, Pete Hegseth was involved in the disclosure of strike plans via a messaging app that somebody had included a journalist on.
[00:36:34] <halibut> I also recall a lot of press about how that was not that big of a deal.
[00:36:53] <halibut> I guess that means it was an authorized disclosure.
[00:38:12] <halibut> At some point, it just feels like there is no point in calling out the hypocritical-ness of this. It feels like the status quo for that administration.
[00:39:29] <ted-ious> You don't think that pete hegseth is actually running the us department of defense do you?
[00:40:14] <ted-ious> He's a junior distraction operating underneath the distraction in chief.
[00:42:22] -!- progo has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[00:42:34] <ted-ious> He's very good at getting people spun up about the kinds of issues that generate lots of clicks and ad revenue but I doubt he's even consulted about important decisions.
[00:42:37] -!- progo [progo!~progo@eegc-73-589-96-43.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net] has joined #soylent
[00:42:38] <halibut> I do not have a lot of insight into who exactly is calling the shots and who exerts influence on whom. I am only describing the outputs.
[00:43:25] <ted-ious> Well in his case the outputs are similar to trump's and they are mostly distractions and creating content for the masses to consume.
[00:44:10] <ted-ious> Have you noticed that during the press events where trump signs executive orders everybody has to explain to him what he's signing because he's never seen the documents before?
[00:45:27] <c0lo> Who is FuckleSnort__ and why it pollutes channel?
[00:45:29] <ted-ious> Hegseth might be less adhd and lazy than trump but I don't think he has much more genuine authority in his department.
[00:46:47] <ted-ious> Especially after the signal chat fiasco they probably don't give him secret knowledge about operations until things are already finished.
[00:47:48] <halibut> I have noticed that about signing events. You can tell I do not work there because Trump has never signed a paper declaring Poop to be Smelly, or something like that.
[00:47:55] <halibut> Needless to say, I doubt I would work there long.
[00:48:24] <ted-ious> That would be the most entertaining moment in american history. :)
[00:48:39] <halibut> FarkleSnot's username suggests that is Fnord666. I have not seem Fnord around for a while.
[00:49:16] <halibut> Depending on my mood, Trump might also end up signing an order that Poop is Delicious. I would get a pretty good kick out of that.
[00:50:01] <halibut> I just hope I could keep a straight face when inserting it into the pile, calling it an executive order ending DEI in the hard sciences, or something like that.

[06:50:25] <janrinok> halibut, I don't think it is Fnord666. He is still around but not often on here. He still processes stories from time to time and is active in the submission selection process.
[06:51:00] <janrinok> Anyway, good morning world!

[16:44:29] <AlwaysNever> Youtube is showing me non-stop videos of people badmouthing Windows 11, is the algorithm being weaponized against Microsoft?
[16:52:21] <fab23> probably, install ChromeOS :)
[16:58:12] <kolie> The algorithm lives to feed you want you like
[16:58:25] <kolie> It doesn't push an agenda, it pushes all agendas.
[17:05:30] <c0lo> probably win10 end of support caused a forced upgrade to W11?

[17:10:48] <kolie> I heard people going to W7
[17:10:51] <kolie> for real.
[17:21:17] <AlwaysNever> THe Win7 trend is fake news of a statistics aggregator, or concerted trolling from some forum
[17:22:15] <AlwaysNever> the algorithm feed you what you want, in the realm of the non-tabu things which are allowed
[17:22:50] <AlwaysNever> the algorithm is not without bias
